What kind of energy waves do black holes emit?

Black holes emit a form of energy called Hawking radiation, which consists of particles being emitted from the black hole's event horizon. This radiation causes the black hole to slowly lose mass over time.


What kind of radiation do photocopy machines emit and what is the exact wavelength of this radiation on average?

Other than visible light used to scan the original to be copied, some heat, and the kind of very low and extremely low frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by all electrical devices, photocopiers do not emit radiation.


How do black holes die?

Unfortunately black holes don't evaporate- they are a massive vacuum with a tremendous amount of gravitational force which can theoretically disassemble matter which then travels through the hole, and is reassembled (not necessarily in it's original form) at the other end of a black hole commonly called a white hole.


Does a flashlight have radiation?

Yes, although probably not the kind you're thinking about. Microwaves use electromagnetic radiation to heat food. If the microwave is properly constructed and not damaged, none of that radiation escapes.


Can black holes fit in a HR diagram?

One might quickly conclude that black holes don't belong on HR diagrams since the latter is designed for stars, and black holes generally aren't considered stars. Further, given that a spectral type would be necessary to plot any given entity on an HR diagram, a black hole would have to have such typification, which it does not have - given that, due to relativistic effects, it emits no significant light. If it were assigned a spectral type, it would still need to have an agreed-upon absolute magnitude, which some might argue was "infinite" for the same reason - reflecting the observer's inability to detect any (intrinsic) light. It is, however, generally accepted that black holes emit a kind of black-body radiation owing to quantum effects (Hawking radiation) for a temperature that may vary with its surface gravity. Even if a consensus could be built regarding its luminosity and its spectral type, its presence on an HR diagram may not be 'useful,' despite its significance in theories of stellar evolution to which the HR diagram so abundantly contributes.

What kind of light do you emit?

Humans emit visible light in the form of infrared radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation.


What kind of telescopes are used to observe black holes?

You can't really "observe" a black hole. About the best you can do is look for their effects on their immediate environment, and one of the best tools for that is an X-ray telescope... matter falling into the black hole releases a lot of energy, and some of that comes out as X-rays.


What kind of light do humans emit?

Humans emit infrared light, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.


Why can't we see black holes what would it look like?

We cannot see black holes because no light comes from them1. They are so gravitationally massive that even light cannot escape from a black hole, thus the name black hole.1 While there is an emission of matter and energy, called Hawking radiation, that theoretically radiates from the perimiter of a black hole, no energy of any kind (including Hawking radiation) escapes from inside the black hole.


What is the significance of the black hole temperature in understanding the behavior of black holes in the universe?

The black hole temperature is important because it helps us understand how black holes interact with their surroundings and how they emit radiation. It provides insights into the behavior and evolution of black holes in the universe.


What kind of radiation does red laser pointers emit?

Red laser light.


Do black holes emit radiation, and if so, what are the implications of this phenomenon on our understanding of the universe?

Yes, black holes emit radiation, known as Hawking radiation. This phenomenon suggests that black holes can slowly lose mass and eventually evaporate. This challenges previous ideas about black holes being completely "black" and has implications for our understanding of the nature of space, time, and the universe as a whole.


What kind of electromagnetic radiation do all warm bodies emit?

All warm bodies emit thermal radiation, which is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be felt as heat. This radiation is a result of the movement of atoms and molecules within the body, and its intensity and wavelength depend on the temperature of the body.


Do black holes have colour?

Since having color would imply reflection or radiation in the visible spectrum, and because a black hole's gravity is strong enough to prevent any light escaping, the best response would be, No; thus making the "black" component of their name particularly significant. Note that recent theories indicate that black holes can create a kind of radiation (Hawking radiation) associated with a thermodynamic interaction with the universe, but strictly speaking this occurs outside the black hole. They also have accretion disks which are highly energetic and will emit large amounts of radiation in the x-ray portion of the spectrum (the disks likely will also radiate some in the visible spectrum), and also evidence powerful relativistic polar jets which are highly luminous; but again these phenomena are outside the black hole.

How does cell phones cause radiation?

Cell phones are small radios, that both transmit and receive. When they transmit they emit radio waves, which is a kind of radiation.
